kenny flips a weighted coin 8 times and gets 2 tails. what is the experimental probability that the next flip will come up tails? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(tails) =

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall experimental - probability formula

Experimental probability (P(E)=\frac{\text{Number of times event }E\text{ occurred}}{\text{Total number of trials}})

Step2: Identify values

The number of tails in 8 flips is 2 (number of times event occurred), and the total number of flips is 8 (total number of trials).

Step3: Calculate probability

(P(\text{tails})=\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4})

Answer:

(\frac{1}{4})
